forbear taking up a Lamentation concerning poor ENGLAND whose Prophets prophesie falsly and the Priests bear Rule by their means and the people love to have it so but what will they do in the end thereof for sure the end will be sad when the Lord shall come out as a swift Witness against the Seers of ENGLAND for strengthening Baal's Priests and upholding the Popes Dominion and dressing the Scarlet Whore in new clothes so as to blinde and decieve Cities and Countries telling them That it 's the true genuine fruit of the Womb of the Church and Spouse of CHRIST when it will indeed be discovered to be from the Harlots brood and so a Bastard which is sentenced by the LORD according to Scripture surely to die and the day of the LORD's vengeance will slay it for the LORD hath pronounced destruction to Babylons Brats as well as to Babylon why then should contention be for the Whores Brats Reader I beseech this of thee whosoever thou beest under Forms or without forms obedient to Ordinances for the LORD's sake or yet in the dark concerning them I beseech all sorts of people high and low to weigh in the balance of the Sanctuary the true Relation which followeth for I shall relate the Truth without addition though I cannot it may be remember all the passages in order yet as many as the LORD brings to my minde I shall relate for the satisfaction of the LORD's friends known and unknown in all parts where the rumour hath run A Declaration from my own hand shall follow not being put on by any save by the great Instructor who counselleth with his eye who beareth me out before men and devils The LORD is on my side I will not fear men what they can do the LORD is my help and refuge Farewel Your servant that loves Christ in sincerity A.T. Here begins the NARRATIVE or RELATION FIrst I shall give an account of my Invitation from friends which said Pray go down with us to Cornwal there you may do good to poor souls with the variety of Experiences God hath given you But I said There 's a far journey indeed Do you think I would leave all my friends to go so far from them they would take it very ill surely They said to me We have invited you we pray you spread it before the Lord and hearken to his minde in it and we will pray and wait for the Lords answer I said I would pray against going to Cornwal if I should finde any inclination or motion to go I would not hearken to it my minde was so strongly bent against that journey But two days after in the night I was praying to the Lord in my bed secretly and I desired I might abide neer my London-friends that so I might enjoy society with them that I was in Church-order with who were so dear to me and were written in my heart But the Lord that night perswaded my heart to pray to him for his presence in the journey to Cornwal saying Do n't pray agairst it any more for there thou must go And much perswasion was given in to my heart by the secret whisperings of the Spirit And the Scripture-sayings I had that night were these The first was Josh 1.9 The Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest And again I had that saying Where canst thou flee from my presence or where canst thou go from my Spirit Psal 139.7 I then said Truth Lord whither can I go from thy Spirit or flee from thy presence Then do n't fear to go to Corurwal though it be a long journey said the Lord for I will go with thee then I said Lord let me have thy Spirit and presence in places neer London why should I go so far and among strangers the answer was Fear not be not discouraged thy God who is thy Father goeth with thee then I mourned before the Lord and said I pray Father let me not go then the Lord said Thou reasonest as Moses did when he was to go to Pharoah he cavilled against the minde of God and so do'st thou then that saying was given into my heart The Lord hath purposed thy going there and his purpose and counsel shallstand and he will do his pleasure it pleaseth him thy going there and then I had that Scripture in Isa 41.10 Fear thou not for I am with thee be not dismayed for I am thy God I will strengthen thee yea I will help thee yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness therefore said the Lord be willing to go and then my reasoning gainsaying spirit fell flat before the Lord and I prayed Thy will O Lord be done thy word coming with such power and great authority on my heart I can no longer contradict it then I had this saying Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses things are confirmed I have said the Lord given thee many confirming Scriptures for thy establishment concerning thy journey therefore be strong in thy Fathers strength rely upon him that will not forsake thee nor leave thee but will be thy guide unto death Then I told my sister I thought I must go to Cornwal the which she liked not but contradicted And the day after this nights debating and arguing I told some of the Church I walk with That I was perswaded to go to Cornwal they were much against it and said to me You will not we hope do so we are against your leaving us to go so far and will you leave us in such a time as this Many of my sisters were troubled at my first speaking of going but when I had related the Scriptures I had for my going then they were silent for that time and I told them That if I had not a further call from God to the journey I would not go it being such an extraordinary journey I would not go without an extraordinary call further from the Lord sealing me up thereunto And going down to Hillington neer Uxbridge by the way as I rode I still was filled with apprehensions of my journey into Cornwal the joy I should have by the way and what benefit others would have through a poor creature And when I came to my friends house at Hillington I lay all next day silent but exceedingly filled with the presence of the Lord who shewed me a vision of my Cornwal-journey I beheld high rocky-hills and variety of places and towns and how I should be as I rode in the Coach much melody I should have this I saw and heard this saying That as sure as Paul in Act. 16.9 had a vision appeared in the night There stood a man of Macedonia and prayed Paul saying Come over into Macedonia and help us the Lord said as truely do I thy Lord call thee to Cornwal by this vision then I answered and said Paul was to preach there what is that word to me then reply was But as sure as

at the fifth Monarchy where then shall be the table-scoffers and the Pulpit-deriders and such that make a sport and jeer at those that are for Christs reign and cry Raze them raze even to the ground their Persons Estates and what ever is theirs but the Lord laughs such enemies to scorn and hath them in derision and will require and recover all from them that have defrauded a fierce people shal not overcome the Lords Anointed fierce looks nor deep speech gathered up and fetcht from both Cambridge and Oxford Universities shal not affright the Lords flock though they stammer they shal be understood no dark saying shall be concealed from the faithfull they shall understand fierce looks and deep subtile speeches though they be brought forth with a Latine tongue and in Greek expressions yet the wise-observing-spirited ones shall understand the cunning works of the politick Sophister glorious things spoken of the City of God And the Lord incourageth the afflicted to hope and take confidence in him who will bring judgement unto victory faithfull is he that hath promised who will do it then Saints may look upon Sion as the City of their solemnities their eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation a Tabernacle that shall not be taken down not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken but there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams wherein shall go no gally with oars neither shall gallant ship passe thereby For the Lord is our Judge the Lord is our Law-giver the Lord is our King he will save us thy tackling are loosed they could not well strengthen their Mast they could not spread the Sail then is the prey of a great spoil divided the lame take the Prey and the Inhabitants shall not say I am sick the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity this time is coming wherin the spoiler shal be spoiled in the restauration of the Kingdom to Israel then shall quietnesse and peace that passeth all understanding be in their habitation and round about them no dealing of men shall make them afraid their Tabernacle no Politician shall take down if any Assyrian or others shall stretch out their tongue or hand against the Lords Prophets and Servants they shall wither and shrink up with leprosie For they that are true to the Lord he wil be a Tabernacle unto them for a shadow in the day time from the heat for a place of refuge for a covert from storm and from rain Isa 4 6. The Tabernacle spoken of in Leviticus and in other places typed out Christ to come excellently as the great Refuge and holy Center for his People who bring their sacrifices to him they shall have admittance to enter in being his Priests they shall not stand at the door of the Tabernacle but have liberty to come into this Tabernacle and finde acceptance and welcome what need they then matter whether men bid them welcome to their thrones and houses or no their welcome oftentimes is but a complement for the most part not reall but the Lords welcome and invitation is alwayes reall Oh what strong steaks and cords hath this Tabernacle which is a stability of those glorious times of Zion none of her strength or fortifications shall be broken or taken down by Bolial or any of his Crew for their cords are not like those green wit hs which the Philistines brought to Dalilah to bind Sampson Judg. 16. Chap. For the Lord hath made them abhor their Dalilah sins and cut off such right hands and pluck out such right eyes those sins that were so near and delightfull to them they say get you hence they hate folly and vain thoughts and say with David in the 119. Psalm O how I love thy Law unto such will the glorious Lord be a place of broad rivers not a narrow channel nor a marshy ditch where the flags and rushes cover the water springs nor a narrow winding Creek where boats cannot passe along neither is it shallow but deep and broad a place of broad rivers and streams it s indeed an Ocean it comprehends all rivers and streams and this may be said of it Oh the higth and depth length and breadth these are Rivers that the Waters rise up to the Ancles yea to the knees and so to the loins and at length they become a flowing high spring that runs over banks Ezex 47.3 4 5. and fils the meadowes and Ezekiel gives a report of these high spring Waters in his Prophesie its good to be diptor plunged in this Jordan river which takes away all deformity and cleanseth from all leprosie and its a comforting refreshing River this is Water of Life it recovers the dying vitalls and fainting Spirits the which none of mens strong liquors of Arts and Sciences can do neither can any compounded water of humane invention be so effectuall though they still it in the Limbeck of brain-study draining it through the long pipe of curious witty phrases yet such Equors will soon lose their spirits but as for the Water that the soul drawes out of the Well of Salvation through Faiths Bucket which retains the Sent and fragrant Smell and operative Nature and the soul swimes in the broad rivers that are promised Zion which Rivers will admit no gaily with oares to row therein no troublers shall come there none of mens gallantry nor ships of Merchandise shall sad there no turkish nor English gally of power and strength and device mannaged with Souldiour oares shall appear to take the free-born captive that river will presently sink such gallies and oares too and if so be gallant Councel ships and great numerous Parliament ships which are made of wood and pitch and rosin and tarre and okum such stuff as wil burn to ashes when the fire comes which Scriptures speaks of it s not the Clergy nails that can fasten such ships together and make them sail which are heavy lumpish bottomes that have no nimble swift motion at all whereby to do service for King Jesus and his subjects But the broad river is preparing its making its path thorough all opposition its ships are all making ready and preparing to swim The great Ship-Wright I speak this with reverence and holy aw of God and say that the great artificial Ship-Wright and Carpenters Son so called by the Jews which was the glorious Messiah this mighty God is fitting his ships for this time these are the Zion spoken of Micah 4.13 whose horns are Iron and hoofs brasse who are exhorted to arise and thresh and beat in pieces many people and these will not waste the gain neither will they feast it away but they will consecrate it unto the Lord of the whole earth they will serve his interest with it not their own ends and felfish interests This is a time longed for by the New Non-conformists who are Christs little flock whom he bids not to fear for it pleased his Father to give them a Kingdome Therefore get you to your strong holds Oh Israel and Prisoners for you are Prisoners of hope you seek not great things for your selves but for the Lords Anointed ones you cry to the Lord and not for earthly Palaces nor White-Hall-Garden-Walkes nor Kitchin-belly-chear nor Lairdery-dainties nor Banquet-sweet-meats nor Councell-Robes nor Parliament Tithes nor Emperour Advancement nor great Attendance nor for Colonels and Captains silken Busse and garnished spangled Coats and gilded Cloakes and brave London and Country Houses I say fellow-Prisoners and sufferers for Christ seeing we have none of this in our eye nor desires let us bid defiance to all reproaches and vilifyings and derisions against us this defiance have I presented to Cornwall Clergie and Justices with their Auditories or Agents joining with them whether they be devout men or women great gifted and learned or ignorant I blesse the Lord I can send defiance to all your reports and reproachfull language there and so I can to all such here and to their harshnesse which say it is pity but I should be hanged and that would commend a whip to my back and to all base termes and names and to Bridwell usage too I will write defiance and say Who can lay any thing to my charge worthy of such reproach indictments or binding over to the good behaviour or of three or four prisons or of sending to Bridwell And now in this defiance let all take their share Enemies take yours and don't be offended at true speaking but be humbled and repent that your evill words and unjust actions and thoughts of your heart may be forgiven you and for you I shall pray And to friends I have this word do not you find fault with oppressions but labour to amend them with candid and charitable Constructions and Spirituall Application of those Scripture-Observations which are your due and that we may all practise that which is good and escape the evill is the desire and earnest request of Your praying Friend ANNA TRAPNELL An Errata IN page 17. line 26. for horrible fit read horrible pit in page 19.
